This blog was started by Joshua Landis in 2015 to commemorate the American community in Lebanon and particularly of Ainab. He grew up in this hilltop community that was started in 1932-33 by five American University of Beirut families: the Dodd, Close, Leavitt, Kerr, and Crawford families. Later families included: Landis, Crow, Dodge, Eddy, Scott, Gordon and Kennedy. Other families who summered in Shemlan, just below Ainab, include: Dorman, Stoltzfus, Smith, Van Dyck.

Ann Kerr with paintings of Stanley's vineyard. 1958.
Ann Kerr with her paintings of geraniums and grapes from Stanley's vineyard, painted in 1958. Now hanging up in her house (as you can see, the bathroom!). She is holding her book, Painting the Middle East, opened to a page with a picture of her painting these pictures.
